Some People I'll Miss

There are too many people I will miss in my circle of friends and loved ones to name in one blog but suffice it to say, two people I'll miss the most are my nieces, Brittney and Maegan. They have no idea how much I love them.

Joe and I took the girls to lunch at Humble City Cafe and then to a movie on Sunday. We noshed down some tasty homestyle cooking before swinging through Big Lots to buy bags of candy. Finally, we settled in with our very chic 3D glasses to watch Coraline. Honestly, we picked the movie because there were no more showings of our first choice, Confessions of a Shopaholic. Nevertheless, the movie was pretty good, albeit a little weird.

I hope the have the chance to hang with them again before Joe and I move. He's very fond of them and they seem to think he's pretty cool, albeit a little weird. LOL He's comfortable with that.

Big sigh...

Starting from the Beginning

I forgot that not everyone read the blogs that were posted to Myspace, so here goes:

By May 1, Joe is leaving for Heidelberg, Germany. I may travel with him or follow about 2 weeks later. We're still trying to get the paperwork nailed down so I can know for sure.

We'll be gone for a minimum of three years, returning home when possible for holidays and such.

We were both very excited about the opportunity until we discovered Maia wasn't going to go with us (see first post). More info to come.

The Maia Dilemma

As many of you know, Joe and I have a pitbull named Maia. She is a really great dog, despite a minor lack of manners and she's a little gassy. Today, we found out that we cannot take Maia with us to Germany. Apparently, all pitbulls are banned across Europe. This leaves us looking for a foster parent for her.

It's tough because she is a big dog of a breed whose reputation has been tarnished by people who breed irresponsibly and fight dogs like Maia; horrible people like Michael Vick. Before the 90's, pits were known as nanny dogs because they are so good with children. Then people come along and misbred and mistrained these wonderful dogs; using their desire to please to make them into weapons. Sigh. It's a very tough time for us right now.
